Cross-posted from PYF. I felt like this was worth sharing.

I'm going with the answer to this is "someone's gate got opened". And it was likely by mister "I'm gonna lick your fingers".

Yup! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_llama

If a dog or wolf attacks the flock, sheep will just die. A llama is big enough and pissy enough to be a deterrent.

Ehhhh. I'd say 75% of sheep will just roll over and go "oh okay eat me". There's some out there that will get a wild hair up their rear end and charge and wreck up a dog.

This is not one of those sheep:

(which is why she's covered in blukote and not in the pasture)

I tackled those two lambs today and dewormed them. Lamba (the white one) is very very sad and 100% sure the world is at an end. Point (the brown one) whispers death and destruction and a chaotic end to all.

E: Lamba is quite possibly the most original name I've ever had for an animal, I know, but after screaming "LAM-BAAAAAAAA" at her for a month and her going "BAAAAAA" back, it just kind of became a thing. She comes like a dog when you call her (*unless you have dewormer). Point hates you and wants you to die.

My little starter flock:

From left to right, Point, Lamba (who's screaming because she wants grain), Ramba (the other white) and Dingdong.

They're all locked up right now because Ramba and Dingdong just got here and I want to make sure they're zen and chill before I let them out as well as giving Lamba one more week to finish healing the tiny itty bitty scabs on her leg.

Lamba and Ramba are full Katahdin lambs. Dingdong and Point are part barbados. Everybody's hair sheeps

All of my sheep are shedding wildly and I keep making fun of them for it.

Aren't sheep like... expensive? They seem like a thing you'd want to keep track of.

Eh. If they're registered they can be high but I've seen anything from $50 to $250 unregistered. If they broke out and wandered who knows how far they got.

Still no word on who lost their sheep, huh. Do they have any tags or microchips or anything? Do people even chip sheep?

Registered ones, sometimes.

Lamba is the size of three small houses and keeps chewing on her right side and singing to it, so I'm HOPING that she's pregnant. Hoping for DingDong too.

If I don't have lambs by fall, I'm sharpening an axe.

So hypothetically if someone adores all of the livestock pics in PI but is still an enthusiastic meat eater does that make someone a sociopath?

I'm asking for another goon btw.

No more than my vegetarian rear end butchering the poo poo out of cute little fuzzy animals I raised and feeding the meat to other folks.
